Career benefits for Electrical Engineer by getting trained in PLC SCADA System

Electrical power demand for utilities is increasing day by day. It is necessary to have most economical and optimised systems at all levels of power generation & distribution system. 

Use of SCADA in power system distribution can achieve desired economy and safety. There is a great scope to improve existing old distribution systems through Industrial Automation. By Automation utilities can meet the challenges of integrating power supply sources such as Solar, Wind, other renewable & non-conventional methods.

PLC SCADA systems are the most cost-effective smart solutions for improving reliability, utilization and smart visualisation methods.

Working of SCADA Systems

A SCADA system is basically a PC-based software package. Data is collected from various electrical distribution systems, majority of the data originates at substations. A substation may be small, medium or large in size. Similarly every substation will have a varying number of controllers and operator interface points. Data is input for these controllers & operator interfaces. In a typical configuration, a substation is controlled and monitored in real time by a combination of PLC SCADA System  and by certain devices such as circuit breakers, power monitors etc. Conditioned data from the PLC and the devices is to a PC-based SCADA node located at the substation. More no of PCs are positioned at various monitoring stations are via Ethernet-based systems. Other than data collection, SCADA systems allow commands to be issued from central control and monitoring points to substations as per the desired controlling need.

Even though automation has deep penetration into industries, still there is a long way to go. Many utilities are dependent on manual labour that can easily be automated with SCADA systems. In addition it can cut costs, automation facilitates smoother operations while minimizing downtime. Today SCADA systems come with redundancy and backup systems which provide reliability, and are much faster- and consistent than manual system s.

SCADA systems functionality is much more than data collection. They also deliver automated control, benefitting utilities. SCADA Systems has feature of alarms & events. Alarms detect problems in the system, which enables adjustments and corrections in the system resulting in prevention of an outage. In case of an outage caused by a storm, SCADA system’s advanced data collection capabilities help engineers/field workers identify the exact place/ location of the outage.  Through PLC SCADA system power restoration following an outage is much easier & faster. SCADA-enabled switches help operators isolate the outage, reroute power quickly to unaffected sections, without lengthy visual inspection at site.

Benefits of PLC SCADA systems for Electrical Distribution:
• Reliability of the system increases
• Need for lengthy Manual data collection is eliminated
• Alarms systems enable operators to quickly diagnose and fix problems
• PLC Scada systems minimise human intervention, thereby more safety.
• Trending analysis enhance capabilities to detect future problems
• Historians provides the ability to view data in various ways improving overall efficiency.
